Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Dim Infusion
I'm a complete blusher junkie. I don't need to buy anymore, considering the amount you get and it's nearly impossible for me to hit pan on my products, but I couldn't pass up this new Hourglass product.
After looking up swatches online, Dim Infusion was the one I liked the most. It's a milky orange color which looks natural and it's different from the other oranges I own.
The casing is very luxurious looking; it's rose gold with a large mirror. Each blusher has a different marbling. Mine is a good mix of the dim powder + blush color.
The texture is very soft and it is easy to blend. It's not hard to overdo this blush. I find it doesn't emphasize large pores and it has about 5 hours of lasting power before it starts to fade.

Ole Henriksen Fresh Start Eye Creme
Eh, I've always felt eye creams to be a money maker in the skin care world. Why? a small tub is expensive and it's impossible to see if it's actually making an impact.
Still I can't help but buy eye cremes. I've tried a a couple different brands, but this is my first from Ole Henriksen.
It's packaged in a glass jar, so not necessarily good for travel. The creme itself is lightweight and does not sting my eyes.
On the right, you can see the ingredient list.
I tried my hardest to find an eye creme that doesn't contain mineral oil or petroleum.
Like I said, I don't really see a big difference ... but I will continue to use it until the end :)

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine #5
Ohhh, YSL! I cannot resist the beautiful packaging, but the high price can be off-putting.
I finally indulged in Rouge Volupte 5 after receiving a Sephora gift card.
Number 5 is a exclusive Sephora color. It's a pretty pinky berry color that is flattering and natural.
The texture is really light. It feels like a balm, but with the opacity of a lipstick.
Of course, who can ignore the luxurious gold tubing!
I think it will be awhile before I purchase more, but I absolutely love the one I own.

Face Mists- Innisfree, It's Skin, Caudalie
A quick and easy way to refresh your skin without ruining your make up? Face mists! Since most mists are small and portable it's simple to just chuck it into your purse.
One spritz and my face is instantly cooled.
The Innisfree Green Tea Mineral mist contains 100% organic green tea minerals and is also hypoallergenic, so great for those with sensitive skin. I like the aerosal can. Remember do not shake the bottle!
Caudalie Beauty Elixer is a cult favorite, which may need no introductions! Since there's oil in this product, I find it adds a subtle glow to my skin without looking oily. The refreshing scent is very aromatic!
I haven't tried the It's Skin mist, so watch out for that review later!

Ole Henriksen Vitamin C
There's a huge difference between brightening & whitening products. I feel brightening adds glow to your skin, while whitening changes the shade of your skin.
With that said, Vitamin C is famous for its brightening qualities. I picked up a Ole Henriksen Vitamin C kit from Sephora to give it a go.
The Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster is my favorite out of the group, since it actually gives my skin a healthy glow.
The Truth Cream, in the tub, is lightweight but moisturizes well. It claims to "brighten, firm and provide unparalleled moisturizer." Hmmm... I will say the last part is correct, but not too sure about the firm factor.
All these products smells delicious if you love citrus type scents.

Philosophy Miracle Worker SPF 50+
Protecting your sun is extremely important, especially if you want to fight signs of aging.
Philosophy Miracle Worker SPF 50+ retails for $58 on Sephora. Yes, it is expensive compared to other sunscreens. Luckily for me, I got this as a gift.
The formula is a light, white lotion. It doesn't leave your skin chalky white, but the formula is a little greasy. I find it works well under makeup, but maybe not on its own (especially if you have oily skin)
It claims to "minimize the signs of aging" but to a certain point all sunscreens do that. So, is it worth the $58? No, not unless you're crazy about Philosophy products.

DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge 1 Review
Most of my friends consistently stick to my cleanser for a loooong time. Me? I tend to try new ones constantly.
I head about this Dermadoctor cleanser from, where else, the Internet. A lot of people were raving about it, which made me curious!
This cleanser claims to fight aging by efficiently exfoliating the skin. Many exfoliating face washes have scrubbing bits, but I found this cleanser to be very milky and non-irritating!
Since I just started using it, I cannot comment on the anti-aging benefits. For the most part, I am enjoying this face wash very much.
If you live near a Sephora store, you can ask one of the associates to provide a free sample.

Dior Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Awakening Blush
Originally, I did not want to buy this Rosy Glow blusher from Dior, but as time went on, I suddenly felt the need to purchase it & I'm so glad I did!
Packaging wise, it's very luxurious. It's silver, with clear acrylic. The brush is also not too bad!
The concept of this blush is that it will adjust to your skin natural chemistry On me, it looks like a sweet strawberry milk color. Since it's finely milled, it goes on beautifully. It also smells just like roses!
I purchased mine from Sephora for $44.

Dr. Jart Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm
I'm a sucker for the items located near the check out line at Sephora. I own, as well as tried, many different BB creams, but none from Dr. Jart.
It claims to be detoxing, so it'll work well with acne prone skin. For me, I like the fact that it covered my imperfections, but my face still looked natural.
I still need to test it out, but for now, I really like it!
